castor marshaller suppress xsi - marshalling

Question

I read a post written by you about:
Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(w);
marshaller.setSuppressXSIType(true);
The problem is that I'm using that method but the result didn't changed.
My code is :
Marshaller m = new Marshaller();
m.setSuppressXSIType(true);
m.setSuppressNamespaces(true);
m.setSupressXMLDeclaration(true);
m.setMarshalExtendedType(false);
m.marshal(obj, file);
But what I obtained is still the xmlns:xsi=.. and the xsi:type=.. inside the xml tag.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm using castor xml 1.3.2.

Answer 1

if you create the marshaller with the string writer then the problem goes away.
StringWriter st = new StringWriter();
Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(st);
However, if you do the below it wont work.
Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller();
marshaller.setValidation(true);
marshaller.setSuppressXSIType(true);
marshaller.setSuppressNamespaces(true);
marshaller.setSupressXMLDeclaration(true);
marshaller.setMapping(mapping);
marshaller.marshal(order,st);

That's what I've done as well and it worked for me. Here is the example, hope it helps:
MarshallerTest.java:
import org.exolab.castor.mapping.Mapping;
import org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException;
import org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException;
import org.exolab.castor.xml.Marshaller;
import org.exolab.castor.xml.ValidationException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class MarshallerTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, MappingException, MarshalException, ValidationException {
Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
mapping.loadMapping(MarshallerTest.class.getResource("/mapping.xml"));
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(sw);
marshaller.setMapping(mapping);
marshaller.setSuppressNamespaces(true);
marshaller.setSuppressXSIType(true);
Person alex = new Person();
alex.setName("alex");
alex.setHobbies(Arrays.asList(new String[]{"fishing", "hiking"}));
marshaller.marshal(alex);
System.out.println(sw.toString());
}
}
Person.java:
public class Person {
private String name;
private List<String> hobbies;
// ...getters and setters
}
castor.properties
org.exolab.castor.indent=true
output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<person>
<hobbies>fishing</hobbies>
<hobbies>hiking</hobbies>
<name>alex</name>
</person>
